    Buckle up as we take a deep dive into Giants Stadium!

    What's Inside:

    5 Previously Unreleased Complete Giants Stadium Shows On 14 Discs

    7/12/87 (24-track masters)

    7/9/89  (24-track masters)

    7/10/89 (24-track masters)

    6/16/91 (48-track masters)

    6/17/91 (48-track masters)

    Blu-ray/DVD video of the complete 6/17/91 show, mixed in surround sound  Mixed from the multitrack master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir's TRI Studios Mastered in HDCD by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering with Plangent Processes restoration Individually Numbered, Limited Edition of 10,000

    By 1987, the Grateful Dead had lived many of their nine lives but were about to embark on one not a soul had seen coming. In The Dark, their first studio album in seven years, had spawned a hit (A TOP 10 SINGLE FOR THE GRATEFUL DEAD?!) and "Touch Of Grey" begat a new generation with their fanny packs and their MTV and their undeniable quest to join the party already in progress. And boy, did the Dead let them in! But not without fine-tuning their sonic vibes to meet the new demand.

    "The Swamp," as Giants Stadium was affectionately known, along with the grandstands the Dead had been frequenting, would seemingly equate with BIGGER and LOUDER, but the band "remained determined to give equal weight to the more subtle, oblique elements; to the exploratory improvisation and rhythmic complexities; to the fine details of the most heart-rending ballads as well as the weirdest dissonances in the jams."

    With GIANTS STADIUM 1987/1989/1991, we retrace this journey from their 1987 breakthrough to their 1989 revelation ("the closest they ever came to sounding like a really polished stadium-level rock act, but the band’s penchant for breaking out of the constraints of song structure and into freewheeling improvisation will remind you just who you’re listening to here") to their transformative return in 1991, aided by elegance of Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby.

    GIANTS STADIUM: 1987, 1989, 1991 features five previously unreleased shows that were recorded at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on: July 12, 1987; July 9 and 10, 1989; and June 16 and 17, 1991. Originally recorded by John Cutler, each show has been mixed from the multitrack master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Bob Weir's TRI Studios in San Rafael, CA, and mastered in HDCD by David Glasser at Airshow Mastering. The first three shows are mixed from 24-track masters. The final two from 1991 are the only Grateful Dead shows ever recorded to 48-track masters. We’re rounding things out with a little visual stimuli -  the entire multi-camera 6/17/91 concert recording on either two DVDs or a single Blu-ray, both with a surround mix by Norman.

    Due September 27th, this release is limited to 10,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from Dead.net. We highly suggest you grab a copy while you can so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out.

    Prefer your boxed set byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day. You can pre-order it now too.

    Thanks Jim, I didn't realize it was just before that great MSG show. I just started listening to that one recently, coincidentally.

    That was taken from the 9/17/87 show, their day off from the Garden run that week. Bobby does a 'Parlor Trick' where a few people from the show lift Garcia using just two fingers.

    The next night, 9/18.. Bobby opens the show with a mimic of the Rocky and Bullwinkle show saying, in his best moose and squirrel voice.. "HEY ROCKY, WATCH ME LEVITATE GARCIA" (then in his best squirrel, "that trick never works" as they kick off one of the best shows of the year.

    3/23/75

    3/23/75 is on the Beyond Description bonus disc. It doesn't have the encore of Johnny B. Goode encore but as it has been said, it is a short show. The whole show minus the encore is contained as a single track on the bonus disc and I have to say I really enjoy it. There are some unique jams which are likely influenced by the setlist. Unfortunately, 6/17/75 is not in the vault as per Dave L., so that is not likely going to be released anytime soon.

    Probably needs to be saved for the Blues For Allah 50th Bonus Disc.

    Any reports on the sound quality of the Woodstock Box?
    I’ve been listening to the complete FLAC version from the link that was posted here last summer and the sound quality is all over the place, even changes mid song, and it so far applies to GD, Who, CCR, Janis, Airplane. I assume that the Box probably sounds pretty good.

    DaP32?
    I have no clue.
    Hopefully it’s an awesome show with excellent sound quality.

    It would be a plus if 3/23/75 did get an official release, short though it is. Very unusual set list to say the least.

    I got the Creedence Clearwater Revival set at Woodstock yesterday. Highly recommended. Short tight rockers leading to incendiary "I've Put A Spell On You" and various jammed out tracks to finish with. Never a dull moment.

CD’s have unique serial numbers that identify them.
If someone types in the song names and uploads the info, it becomes available to everyone.
For that reason, when I import CD’s to my hard drive I do it on a computer that isn’t connected to the internet. I then type in the info in the format I want it in.

Hi all,

Is anyone looking to sell or trade their box set? I would love this set and unfortunately was unable to order it at the time it came out. It was up on the website, which got me excited, as I was hoping to purchase it for my birthday. Alas, it is on there but is totally sold out. Let me know. Thanks!

Hi!

If anyone is interested in purchasing this box set please let me know. I have one I am looking to sell - never played. Going to post it on eBay but figured I would try here first.
